Explain the structure of XeO3 on the basis of Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) theory

Xenon trioxide (XeO3) is a compound where xenon is in the +6 oxidation state, surrounded by three oxygen atoms. The VSEPR theory helps in understanding its molecular structure based on the repulsion between electron pairs in the valence shell.

In XeO3, xenon has six valence electrons (2 in s and 4 in p orbitals) and forms covalent bonds with three oxygen atoms. The central xenon atom is surrounded ____ _______ __________ __________ ________ __________ ___ _______.
